weak in every element of escape except
fieetness, and their habit of passing up
and down our rivers in great schools Of
fers great inducements to their enemies.
When very small, immense numbers are
destroyed by their own carnivorous
brethren, as well as by birds. and during
the breeding season they lose in great
measure the activity which at all times
is their only protection. With the nets
of small meshes spread every where, the
determination Of the mullet is q matter
only Of time, despite their wonderful
powers of reproduction. AT the very
season when they are most eagerly
hunted, the death of one mulIet means
the destruction of ten to twenty thou
sand eggs also, and they are then swim
ming in great schools near the surface,
or in shoal water.
Only few years ago the Dream in the
st. Johns were easily caught in many
places, and furnished an excellent dish.
But they come up the river in schools
during the summer, and lie SO thickly on
the shell beds where they deposit their
spawn, that they are caught in nets and
seines by the thousand, and are even
used for fertilizers and to feed hogs.
They have already become very scarce,
and in few years we must invoke the
assistance of the Governments or see
them come in from the ocean no more.
The Legislature should extend to the
mullet the same protection our law now
gives to shad, and county officials should
be compelled. by public sentiment, to
enforce the id,c. At present in the
neighbOrhOod of Palatka, nearly one
hundred men are engaged in the shad
fishery, and the catch is a source of rev
enue not to be despised. The hunters
of mullet are almost equally numerous
during the proper season, and our fish
bring variety and good food to our ia
bles as well as money to our pockets.
But their value as well as their decreas-
ing numbers should warn us to take
proper precautions or we shall certainly
kill one of the geese which lay our gold
en- eggs. The Legislature cannot help
us in the present state of public senti-
ment

While some of our exchanges were
predicting an Indian war and declaring
that our fellow-citizens in the counties
bordering on the Everglades were in
hourly fear of massacre, we published
the first authoritative denial of the re-
ports, and our correspondent statements
are now fully borne out by the facts Of
ficially reported. At the request of the
Governor, Judge Foster appointed MIR.
w. l.. Palmer, who has made thorough
examination, and has now sent on his
report. But he states to the South Flor
ida Sentinel that he found no ill feeling
existing between the Indians and set
tiers, but that the Indians had so feared
the latter az to withdraw az far as posi-
BILE from their vicinity.
''Mr. Palmer saw representatives Of
the Mikasukies and Seminoles from Mi
ami to Big Cypress, who he says feel
most kindly towards the whites, and in
deed were greatly alarmed at the mere
mention of displeasing the big chief, as
they termed the Governor"
Mr.. Palmer's report will show that
some hogs belonging to the band of
Chief Parker, on Cow Creek, were
killed by some of the beats who
yearly come down here to live on their
wits and bring old guns and pistols with
them, that the Indians complained and
were met with threats, so that they
broke camp and withdrew towards In
dian river. These same robbers then
went among the whites and spread the
reports that the "Indians were on the
warpath." Now the first step has been
taken and the whites have been proved
the aggressors; the Indians have shown
exceptional patience. 1t only remains
that every effort be made for the appre-
hension and punishment of the wrong.
doors, and that wien the punishment
has been inflicted, full information of it
be given to the Indians. So much JUS
tice requires of us, and we are
very sure that the Governor will
spare neither pains nor expense to secure
this end. Let the county authorities
show no lukewarmness in the matter,
and let the press display the same energy
IN securing Justice to the Indians as il
did in imprecating punishment on their
heads and calling out troops to infiict it.
The writer of this has hunted and
lived with the band of Indians involved
IN this matter; he knows them to be hun
cry and poor, but they are utterly
harmless and they feel for the white
Liam the reverentiai fear and profound
respect always inspired in the breasts of
an ignorant race by exhibitions of su-
perior strength or intelligence. They
Will resist only when the wrongs inflicted
drive them to desperation, but their
desire for peace and their utter helpless
ness are only additional reasons why the
State of Florida should fail to follow the
example so long set us by the General
Government. II they must be removed

Refused to be Robbed.

Record:-A Jewish 'peddlar named
Marcus Harrison stopped at Bridgeport
on Monday to dispose of the contents
of pack as large as himself, which he
has carried through this section for so
many years that he is known to many
of our people, who commonly call him
Dan. He stopped in Bridgeport only
long enough to try and sell Jim Smith
an engagement ring, "vurt $50 but you
kan hat it for $25." Then he tried to
let Denny Cavanaugh down for "von
spleDdit suit of broadcloat vot kost me
$50, but you can hat it for 1910"
He next went into Henry Kings where
he tried 10 sell ''yon Holsdeon calf

mile east, ind | got not room in mine
pack for him. King was out or
trade might have been made.
Harrison then started for this county
but was stopped at the toll gate to pay
for his passage, and not having any
change loose in his pocket he was
compelled to pull out his sack which
contained sum of money so large that
it attracted the covetous eyes of a vi
cious looking tramp, who Immediately
started on o rapid walk in the direction
soon to be taken by Harrison. When
four miles up the hollow Harrison was
stopped by this tramp, who at the point
of knife demanded ''your money or
Ill cut your throat Harrison replied
that he had no money but would give
the fellow his pack, at the same time
dropping it to the ground. The high
wayman tried to pick up the pack,
when its owner fired on him twics with
a revolver. This frightened the fellow
who at once took to the brush, when
Harrison. who had now become the ag-
gressor, shot at him five more times,
two of which he thinks took effect
He then shouldered his pack and went
to Patch Grove. from which place a
party Of four went in search OF the
tramp but without success.
Harrison reached Bloomington Tues
day. and in talking over the affair said;

Death or Mrs. Murphy.

Mrs. Charles Murphy, the wife of the
baggageman ON the Galena passenger,
who was i'll at the Hubbard House in
this city for a long time, died at her
home in Cuba City last Friday, of CON
sumption. She has been i'll for long
time. A year ago a change of climate
was tried, and she went to Colorado for
several months. Every means of res
toring health was tried. Her devoted
husband did all that could be done in
vain efforts for her recovery. But
neither loving care nor medical skill
could avail, and on Friday last she
passed away. She leaves two children,
ged one and three years. The funeral
was held at st. Rose last Sunday, and
was attended by large number of
friends, among whom were many of Mr..
Murphys fellow employees of the G. "

formerly carried on at the depot by
Messrs. T. C. Hawley & Co., under the
management of Mr.. I. F. Orion, will
in the future be continued by T. f.

identified with the business that the
change will be only in the name of the
firm and the disposition of the profits.
Its relations to the public will ROMAN
exactly the same. The business is in
grain, seeds, coal, lime, salt, etc. Mr.
Orion is too well known to require any

Proposed Railway.

A Boscobel dispatch to the Sentinel
on the 21st is as follows: 1.-The citizens
of the southern part of Ricbland county
have for some time been agitating the
project of securing railroad connection
with the outside world and have called
q mass convention at Excelsior, on
Saturday, August q, when committees
will be appointed to canvass the district
and consult with the Chicago & North
western Railway company with which
they would like to make some arrange
ment to connect with its narrow-gauge
system, or perhaps with the Milwaukee
& St. Paul company-in fact with any
company which will give them an out.
let. They propose to make the pre-
liminary surveys at their own expense
at once. 1t is only twelve miles from
Excelsior to the St. Paul track, but the
Wisconsin river lies between. 1t is
proposed. in conjunction with the city
and town of Boscobel, if such assist
ance can be obtained, to aim at the
construction of the Chicago & North
western road from Fennimore to Bosco-
bel and thence north. The people are
wide awake and will stop at nothing
short of success.
